Thats a good idea. But what about people who need common/base cards? As I look at other people's want lists I see a lot of common card wants. Should we make a seperate mystery box for common/base cards? If people think this is a good idea, maybe I could start this box.
piper... the problem with commons is that there are so many of them from so many different sets. Which ones do you include? maybe a different box for commons would be a good idea

I was thinking that a common/base card mystery box would incude a few cards from a few different sets. Like I have a bunch of Angel Season 1 common cards. If I were goign to put some Angel Season 1 commons in the box it would only be a few(maybe about 10-15 cards) since we want to leave room for other sets also.
So should I start making the box?

wolfieMy personal opinion is that a box for just common base cards would not work.
I think you would be better putting a list up of the sets you have commons from and inviting people to contact you if they need any.

What about a box with 100 promos? If there is interest, I can start one without any help this week.
So, who wants promos?

After I thought about it a little more, I starting thinking that it might not be such a great idea to have a common/base card box. Maybe it could be a box with commons and promos?

piper_rulez
Redemption
Scifi_Collector
and me
I think we are very close to achieving critical mass here.
John O.... thanks for your thoughts on the "replacement policy" I was thinking of something similar as a rule.
More later (maybe tonight if I can get my son to go to sleep at a reasonable time).
Count me in for a contribution.

Piper... I am hoping to include a good number of promos in the box I am trying to assemble. If you would like to start one that is commons and promos, you can certainly do so

I still hope you will help with the one I am assembling.
